Summary: Excellent help!
Review: 7 Habits should be required reading for all parents, teachers and executives. It's the kind of straight-forward common sense that rings true much like another book -- The Lone Ranger's Code of the West.

Summary: Excellent path to personal and professional success.
Review: Excellent and easy to follow guidelines to personal and relationship fulfillment. Insights to professional goal achievement is in depth and sometimes profound. Have read this book a number of times and worn out the first copy. I found that using Neurosync MIME software CD while I work, which appleis many of these techniques let me achieve my goals and modify my behavior with little conscious effort. This is the one book you should buy on this subject. I and several of my friends have positively changed our lives. You can too.

Summary: Excellent Message
Review: Great help to me and would be great help to anyone who reads or listens. A must for any manager. Ties in well with the Daytimer product. Only complaint is Dr. Covey's voice on the audio cassette. To me, it is very difficult to listen to.

Summary: General new age pablum
Review: I'm still waiting for the sequels, second things second and third things third. I cannot believe that this book is so popular. Hitler and Stalin were also highly effective people, so beware.

Summary: Don't listen to the critics...
Review: This was an excellent book. In fact, it's one of the two best self-help books of all time (the other one being "The Neo-Tech Discovery"). Most of the critics complain that the material is "obvious" or what-not. Well, if it's so obvious, then why aren't more people living their lives in this manner? Sure it's obvious, in fact, it's common sense. Yet, it addresses many vices in our modern, celebrity-worshipping, instant gratification-seeking, sentimentalist society. Is it possible that after reading this book, you could continue to be a loser? Sure it is. Because for all of the greatness of this book, it is just a book, and it can't live your lfie for you. I'd say that if you're unhappy or unfulfilled in life, then read this book and integrate the habits to improve your life. Does that sound simple? It is.

Summary: Enjoyed it.
Review: Stephen Covey has an excellent way of allowing you to see the obvious. All of us should get in the "habit." If you like this, try "The Lone Ranger's Code of the West" -- principles AND snappy adventures in one book!

Summary: Practical and realistic
Review: Reaching goals requires hard work, not just inspiration. Books and people can inspire but ultimately, it's the hard work that will bring you where you want to go. The book outlines how to do it very well.
Rating: 
Summary: Overhyped, overmarketed, overrated
Review: Roger Dawson's 13 Secrets of Power Performance, Steven Scott's Simple Steps to Impossible Dreams and Marshall Sylver's Passion Profit & Power are each 10 million times better than this book.

Summary: If you don't have it, get it
Review: For those who have said that Covey simply used old ideas, I say, "Yes, didn't you read the introduction?" Unlike all the other arrogant self-help and business authors out there, Covey humbly admits AT THE VERY BEGINNING that his work is based upon research of 200 years of work. What Covey has done, and very succesfully, is put all of this learning into a very practical, easy-to-understand, and insightful package. For those who say that it is simply common sense, I would say that everything that is worthwhile is common sense. It just takes someone who has clear thinking to help point out the common sense right in front of our nose.
